NAME

AnyEvent::HTTP::MultiGet - AnyEvent Loop Control Freindly LWP Like agent

SYNOPSIS

use Modern::Perl;
use AnyEvent::HTTP::MultiGet;
use AnyEvent::Loop;

my $self=AnyEvent::HTTP::MultiGet->new();
my $count=0;
TEST_LOOP: {
  my $req=HTTP::Request->new(GET=>'http://google.com');
  my $req_b=HTTP::Request->new(GET=>'https://127.0.0.1:5888');
  my @todo=HTTP::Request->new(GET=>'http://yahoo.com');
  push @todo,HTTP::Request->new(GET=>'http://news.com');
  push @todo,HTTP::Request->new(GET=>'https://news.com');

  my $total=2 + scalar(@todo);

  my $code;
  $code=sub {
    my ($obj,$request,$result)=@_;
    printf 'HTTP Response code: %i'."\n",$result->code;
    ++$count;
    if(my $next=shift @todo) {
      $self->add_cb($req,$code);
      $self->run_next;
    }
    no warnings;
    last TEST_LOOP if $total==$count;
  };
  $self->add_cb($req,$code);
  $self->add_cb($req_b,$code);
  $self->run_next;
  AnyEvent::Loop::run;
}

Handling Multiple large http requests at once

use Modern::Perl;
use AnyEvent::HTTP::MultiGet;
use AnyEvent::Loop;

my $self=AnyEvent::HTTP::MultiGet->new();
my $chunks=0;
my $count=0;


my $req=HTTP::Request->new(GET=>'https://google.com');
my $req_b=HTTP::Request->new(GET=>'https://yahoo.com');
my $req_c=HTTP::Request->new(GET=>'https://news.com');
$total=3;

my @todo;
push @todo,HTTP::Request->new(GET=>'https://127.0.0.1:5888');
push @todo,HTTP::Request->new(GET=>'https://127.0.0.1:5887');
push @todo,HTTP::Request->new(GET=>'https://127.0.0.1:5886');
push @todo,HTTP::Request->new(GET=>'https://127.0.0.1:5885');
$total +=scalar(@todo);

TEST_LOOP: {
  my $on_body=sub {
    my ($getter,$request,$headers,$chunk)=@_;
    # 0: Our AnyEvent::HTTP::MultiGet instance
    # 1: the HTTP::Request object
    # 2: An HTTP::Headers object representing the current headers
    # 3: Current Data Chunk

    ++$chunks;
    printf 'request is %s'."\n",$request->uri;
    printf 'status code was: %i'."\n",$headers->header('Status');
    printf 'content length was: %i'."\n",length($body);
  };

  my $code;
  $code=sub {
     my ($obj,$request,$result)=@_;
    printf 'HTTP Response code: %i %s'."\n",$result->code,$request->url;
    ++$count;
    print "We are at response $count\n";
    if(my $next=shift @todo) {
      $self->add_cb([$next,on_body=>$on_body],$code);
      $self->run_next;
    }
    no warnings;
    last TEST_LOOP if $count==$total;
  };
  $self->add_cb([$req,on_body=>$on_body],$code);
  $self->add_cb([$req_b,on_body=>$on_body],$code);
  $self->add_cb([$req_c,on_body=>$on_body],$code);

  $self->run_next;
  AnyEvent::Loop::run;
}

DESCRIPTION

This class provides an AnyEvent::Loop::run frienddly implementation of HTTP::MultiGet.

OO Arguments and accessors

Arguemnts and object accessors:

logger:          DOES(Log::Log4perl::Logger)
request_opts:    See AnyEvent::HTTP params for details
timeout:         Global timeout for everything 
max_que_count:   How many requests to run at once 
max_retry:       How many times to retry if we get a connection/negotiation error 

For internal use only:

in_control_loop: true when in the control loop
stack:           Data::Queue object 
que_count:       Total Number of elements active in the que
retry:           Anonymous hash used to map ids to retry counts
cb_map:          Anonymous hash used to map ids to callbacks

OO Methods

  • my $id=$self->add_cb($request,$code)

    Adds a request with a callback handler.

  • my $id=$self->add_cb([$request,key=>value],$code);

    Wrapping [$request] allows passing additional key value to AnyEvent::HTTP::Request, with one exception, on_body=>$code is wrapped an additional callback.
